 List<TypeDescriptor> argumentTypes)
                            throws AccessException

Locate a constructor on the type. There are three kinds of match that might occur:

1. An exact match where the types of the arguments match the types of the constructor
2. An in-exact match where the types we are looking for are subtypes of those defined on the constructor
3. A match where we are able to convert the arguments into those expected by the constructor, according to the registered type converter.

Specified by:

resolve in interface ConstructorResolver

Parameters:

context - the current evaluation context

typeName - the type upon which to look for the constructor

argumentTypes - the arguments that the constructor must be able to handle

Returns:

a ConstructorExecutor that can invoke the constructor, or null if non found

Throws:

AccessException
